I had a small media library for myself, and wanted to automate it a bit more, so implemented arr stack (prowlarr, radarr, lidarr), it seems to work but I'm not sure how to pick indexers. I have no experience with it, and I initially just picked a public one, but it barely ever seems to download something.

I'm a bit confused about it, should i just pick as many as I can? Or join a private one? But no idea where to start there.

Any advice or push in the right direction would be appreciated.

If time is worthless to you, sure.

Here I am, paying next to nothing, automated everything, living a life free from American fuckhead companies.

Erm, same? Do you think this isn't available without paying someone else?

Hunting for torrents, begging to get into specific private trackers is quite time-consuming. I highly value my time.
